She received the accolade for playing Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic musical Sunset Boulevard on Broadway and in an emotional speech, she urged others to never "give up" on their dreams. She said: "Growing up, I always felt like I didn't belong, but you all have made me feel like I belong and I have come home at last. So if there is anyone who feels like they don't belong or your time hasn't come, don't give up. Just keep on giving and giving because the world needs your love and light more than ever. This is a testament that love always wins."

The man is very gracious and will play along." Cynthia slams Hollywood legend Cynthia made a cheeky dig at the expense of Hollywood star George Clooney as she hosted the Tony Awards. In her opening speech, she was quick to praise a number of stars. She told the audience: "What a season, what a line-up of shows being honoured tonight: dramas, comedies, stunning musicals, originals and reimaginations of the highest order. "Featuring first-time nominees like Cole Escola, Sadie Sink, Louis McCartney — and an up-and-comer that I think you're going to be hearing a lot about: George Clooney. Good for you, George. Things are going your way, I like it a lot for you." The camera then panned to George who was sat alongside his wife Amal Clooney, who laughed at the joke. George shrugged his shoulders at the comment before then playing along and mouthing: "It's alright."
